Scouting report
The younger Siani has a chance to hit for some pop despite lacking physicality, something that seems more obvious now that he's on a field with other pro athletes. His hands work in a short little loop that creates lift without also creating length, though Sammy's power is a pull-side feature only. From a tools and body standpoint, Siani has some tweener traits similar to eventual college outfielders Daniel Cabrera, Adam Haseley, and Dominic Fletcher when they were preps. Most of their tools live at or near average and they don't have obviously projectable builds -- they're simply well-rounded players and good athletes who tend to perform in high school games. There could be give (power) and take (speed) that pushes Siani to left field, or he may end up with a lighter hitting center field profile. You're just betting on the swing foundation and athleticism here. Siani's exit velos look really scary but he has generated very little data on that end, so little in fact that the sample probably isn't relevant and 2021 will tell us more.
